Description

With Log_Tasks=1, Domino regularly writes the status of all running server tasks to log.nsf and/or the console – comparable to the console command show tasks. Very helpful for retrospective analyses and for answering “what was task X actually doing at 03:14?”
Good to leave enabled in routine operations: the overhead is minimal, and the data is repeatedly useful for diagnostics.

Example configuration

Log_Tasks=1

Notes & pitfalls

  • The Configuration document overrides this notes.ini setting.
  • Pairs with Show_Task_Detail (interactive console detail level).
  • With many tasks and short intervals, log.nsf grows faster – review retention.
  • Manual status query at any time via show tasks.
  • The change takes effect after a restart or via set config reload.
